I have both systems (360 and ps3) regarding this generation's consoles, and I'll eventually buy both of them (I think..) but I will buy a ps4 first. I live in the Netherlands, and a lot of functions of the new Xbox really don't apply to me. I would have liked to hear some more information on those features (I can do nothing with Netflix over here for example) for the European audience. Plus I have to admit, I do not like the fact that I have to be online in order to play something I purchased. It's not that I'm offline over here, since Wifi is always on and working, I just don't like the fact that a company can essentially nullify my purchase whenever they want to, or whenever their servers aren't working properly, which from time to time happens over here.

And I would like to have heard something from Microsoft regarding used games, since, according to the EU, companys aren't allowed to limit or restrict the resale of their product in any which way. So will European customers have other rights then the American customers? And I don't understand why my friends, who live in Croatia, and have a fibre optic broadband connection, cannot play the console.

i really think Microsoft should have taken a bit more time to explain some of their features a bit better and take the time to answer the questions from the media after their E3 event. I feel the Xbone is a great console, loving the implementation of cloud, but they just come over as being extremely arrogant and only catering to North American audiences.

Just get the system that has the games you like on them. If you think Dead Rising 3, Titanfall, and other games fit your gaming needs, get the Xbox One. If you like the exclusives that Sony has and their games fit your gaming needs get the PS4. It's really that simple.

Titanfall is coming to PS4, it's a timed exclusive.

I love how people talk as if that is a confirmed fact. Yeah it is possible it will, especially the way the developer was talking, but we just have to wait and see. Even if it was a timed exclusive, PS4 would get the game a year later and by then it will start to be old and irrelevant.

It's as good as confirmed. YOU might need someone to come out and officially announce it but everyone that's been around the last 10 years knows what it means when a developer says "definitely it's not out the question". That's code for, M$ paid us off to give them timed exclusivity and we can't admit it yet. It happened over and over the first several years last gen. I guaran-damn-te you this comes out for for PS4 holiday 2014.

As for irrelevancy, that may be the case on XbOne by then but PS4 will have 75% of gamers and none of them will have touched it. Also when this type of release happens it normally includes all the DLC packs that the XbOne gamers paid for.

You keep believing whatever you'd like if it helps you sleep at night. Bottom line is: Nothing has been confirmed yet, it is only speculation at this point.

Stopped watching after Round 1
Where they said Sony won with hit damage. Talking about games, I find that funny since Microsoft showed more great games then I could think of compared to the PS4

Click to expand...

There was only one round anyway. MS showed games to try to sway the TV reputation they got. Half the games they showed suck tho in my opinion - but Sony showed games too so Im not sure what your point is...

Sony showed some games but mostly none of hither were in gameplay
Microsoft showed allot of games all with in gameplay footage and live gameplay and in my opinion have an awesome launch lineup, the best I've seen in years
But everyone has there own opinions and that's what makes the world a fantastic place

To the OP I would say which ever you prefer and base your decision on which console has the games you want to play and for some like me the controller you like the most
Both will be great

Do you have internet access at least once a day? If so, then you are available to get either or. It all depends on what games you want the most. If you are indecisive right now based on the games I would wait. For example: I am a super Halo fan, I really like the look of Titanfall, and other games, so I am going with the Xbox One first.

I want a PS4, I love my 360 but Order 1886 looks just a tiny bit cooler than the X1 exclusive that has my eye the most, Titanfall. I also was a PS2 owner and while I enjoy my 360 I miss my old franchises. I only have a few things holding me back.

My gamerscore, not really a big issues but it's still mine.
My walking dead save; I'm positive the save will transferrable from 360 to X1. A game with so many choices can't just errase everything a player did.
and most importantly
That controller, I love the Xbox controller so much more than the dualshock, it seems silly but while games will come and go that same controller will be what's sitting in my hand every time.

what matters to me is stuff like DRM, 24h online, no used no rents and the price 500 to 400

Click to expand...

I wanna say that stuff matters, but it won't really affect me. I'm a poor college kid in a small college town with a poor internet provider and my console my get knocked off two or three times a week for five minutes. I don't borrow games, at least not often enough, for borrowed games to be a real factor. I understand that people are creeped out by the all seeing eye. I don't blame them, but I don't care. If MS want's to see me in my boxers griping about whatever Netflix show I'm watching then pfft.

It's exclusives, in general, that will matter. Used game sales don't sell consoles, Halo, Uncharted and GoW do (Does the G stand for God or Gears? I'll never tell)

As a 360 owner I was on the fence then Sony unveiled Kingdom Hearts 3, BAM, I was sold. Then KH3 was revealed to be multiplatform so I'm back on the fence, but that's irrelevant. What is relevant is despite everything, my decision, and many many others, was and most likely will be based on exclusives. The console war is far from over, the internet is just over reacting because Sony got in a good punch early.

I had both last go around and only played the PS3 when Uncharted was released and used the Blu-ray player. Selling the PS3 and just going XBOX ONES this time. I think Sony should have had an Uncharted or Last of Us ready for the PS4 release, right now, for me, they don't have any launch games that would make me get it day one.

Ya know, this is the absolute FIRST time I've heard of these atrocities! I mean, does everyone know about this? This is, this is just downright evil! Burn them, burn them all I say!! Riot in the streets!! Complete anarchy of The Man!! Down with the new-fangled devil's instruments that dare to do more than one thing at a time and bring you more than just a box with which to play a circular disc on!! I've changed my ways, I've seen the light of the demi-god that is the Playstation 4!!

WE F****N GET IT. How bout you go troll your own PS4 forums if it's so great? Scram.

PS4, don't have to deal with all the craps, and it's more powerful, cost less. Game wise I would say they are about tied right now, I prefer PS4 line up, but not by much. It's all the other factors, where PS4 is better in everything, that killed X1 for me.

I could have sworn this was an Xbox or PS4 thread. Did I miss something?

And since you are obviously too simple to understand, let me explain... NO ONE is complaining about the features of the Xbox One - it's got some great features. People have a problem with the RESTRICTIONS. Not sure why you fanboys are so overprotective of your precious xbox one, but most of the world is not happy about it. Funny thing is, all it would take is for everyone to demand that they at least make some of these things OPTIONAL. But instead, you guys would rather fight every single person that try's to get Microsoft to compromise with us, instead of working together to get a better system.

I agree there are allot of fanboys on these boards on all 3 sides of the consoles. But you are also lumping everyone into one jar. These "RESTRICTIONS" as you call them, aren't restrictions in everyone's eyes. They dont bother me so why should I care?
I do agree that if these so called "restrictions" (which are legit restrictions for some) were removed, and they very well could be who knows, would make the XB1 a better console as it would appeal to the masses

The only thing that bothers me on these boards is... because of these restrictions,,,, I am an idiot and shouldn't buy Microsoft and I should switch to Sony. I have yet to see anyone convince me that I should get the PS4 over the XB1. You can't entice me with the exclusives because i don't like any of the Sony exclusives and I hate the layout of the sony controller.

I just wish the XBOX thread could be more professional. If you like it great, if not then say your two cents in a mature non-flamming approach and we'll discuss it.

But it's all this back and forth that drives me crazy and i'll admit... I'm no saint, as I've been suckered in to that level once or twice. But i am making a stand to respect all

As an avid gamer since the beginning pretty much... I have been actively devouring the new turn of events and what it means for gaming.

Looking at several polls out there it seems quite clear what people are choosing...

Amazon Poll : 34,341 votes of preference for the PS4 (94.73%) against 1910 for the Xbox One (5.27%).IGN Poll : 300,000 votes cast, the readers have spoken. 81% Sony. Microsoft with 12% and Nintendo rounded out the voting with 7% of the vote.The Sun Newspaper Poll (UK most popular Paper) : Results are hidden today for some reason but a few days ago was on a 70% lead for Sony.LA Times: Sony PS4 63.85% , Xbox One: 27.08% , Wii-U : 1.94%, None will keep my current console 7.13%Gamespot Poll : 89% PS4 and Xbox One 11%

and that was just a few of the polls I have found. I am a guy who has been Xbox Orig to Xbox 360 and going in before the announcement wasnt even looking at the PS4 and then Microsoft came with their draconian policies and big stick and no carrot and changed my choice. Its good to see I am in good company and not alone in my views... Considering Microsoft won the last generation with the 360 outselling the PS3 for last two years..for such a turn around and across the board views of people this is bad news for Microsoft surely? Especially as most of these polls are US or UK which are very much hooked up countries and so much less affected than other regions in terms of fast internet access.

When financial articles start voicing there concerns given the widespread and pretty much universal backlash of Xbox One then you know Microsoft have clearly made a balls up.

For me I am happy to wait and see... I will go for PS4 first and then get an Xbox One later on. I must say I actually think for Digital sales the polices are very friendly by Microsoft..its just the forcing the same DRM on Physical sales I disagree with. But if gaming does go digital sales only pretty much and Microsoft pass on the cost savings to consumers then we could be in a situation where Microsoft has better policies... of course there is nothing to stop Sony being just as friendly with their digital sales game policies...they are just rightly sticking with what people know and then entice people across to digital sales.

As some who takes an active interest in video game history It will certainly be fascinating chapter in how all this will pan out.

It's like this;
I constantly hear "whelp - doesn't bother me?? - so why is everyone making a big deal about it??" - Ok, well that may be true, and I get that, but that doesn't mean you should embrace it or promote it! Hell, I don't have cancer, so why should I give a flying fuck about cancer research or the people that do. Because one day I may have it and then all of a sudden it becomes important to me! So ya - you may not have any problems with these restrictions now - but WHEN you do, all of a sudden you're going to want Microsoft to change, and by then it will be too late.

I'm one of those people who's been an xbox fan from day one. But I have regular internet interruptions, I travel, I have more than 10 friends I game with, I use Gamestop and Gamefly VERY frequently, and with all this NSA bullshit, THERE'S NO WAY THAT KINECT IS COMING IN MY HOUSE!! lol

A LOT of other people have these same situations, and those are major deal breakers. And all of these things affect a large amount of people - not just a small portion. So we're trying to get people to understand that this is not ok!! - but these xbox fanboys who say who cares, just jump down everyone's throat instead of saying, you know what - that's not right and if we stick together, we can actually get microsoft to change!

I actually WISH i could get the xbox one because it has a lot of great features - lol but I can't. I'm one of those people - "we have a 360 for people like you"...

This is actually really bad for the gaming community. LOTS of people are jumping ship to PS4. That's not necessarily a good thing. The gaming industry needs competition - it's good that Microsoft and Sony are competitors. But what's going to happen is a huge drop in the xbox gamer population and then Sony will be like Nintendo was back in the 90's - and then Sony can do whatever the hell it wants and we're kinda out of options.

We stopped S.O.P.A. pretty easily. And now this comes along and everyone wants to fight each other instead of joining together and making change happen.

Whether you believe it or not - i the end, this WILL affect you too. If nothing more - you are losing a tremendous amount of good competition on XBL with people going to PS4

Deleted most of your post for space, I'm PS2 -> 360 -> Undecided by the way.

There is a large difference between votes and sales. People voted this way because of this gigantic Sony hype-train that's chugging along the tracks right now. Now I'm not saying MS's and Sony's recent stands on the industry won't affect sales it will, but not on a massive level and definitely not on a level equatable to those votes. The general internet has the memory of a sick goldfish and while things like DRM, traded games and always on will be talked about for months the hype will be forgotten. X1 will sell. There's no console war. It's just what people like to say when fanboys start going at it.

You are right of course polls are only indicative of the current zeitgeist and in 4 months time peoples views maybe different. The main thing for casual consumer that needs to be addressed to sell the console is the price... Microsoft have deep, deep pockets and have massively invested in there cloud server setup and so simply wont let this fail. I wouldn't be surprised if after launch you start seeing monthly contracts with cable/Satellite TV partnerships so you end up paying a monthly subscription for 18 months (so like mobile phones are) .. The anger of DRM policies I don't think will go away as quickly as you mention although in 2 years time I suspect it will become irrelevant if MS do what I hope they do and do with cheaper games through digital sales making console gaming like PC is today..i.e. most games are bought digitally with physical disks the poor relation.

interesting article... and I certainly agree if any games that are supposed to be out in 4 months time weren't on it then that would be really bad.. but for games still a way off then I am not surprised they are still on the PC.. As a follower of E3 since the first one.. this doesn't surprise me and I have learned to be skeptical of whats being shown until a game is released... You can guarantee all of EA and the 3rd Parties will be on high end PCs and not on a console they may imply they are on. I do wonder with Titan Fall as well given that its a PCand Xbox One release ...which version they were really showing us...Time will tell I guess..

The quoting in that post is all turned around, haha. So to respond "I" said (lol):

I agree with you and that's what scares me about MS the most. They are focusing on being non-console as much as a console. It's all in the title XboxOne as in the one item that does it all for you. I would hate to see more contracts with cable companies and certain networks or shows. It just creates a wider rift between things. What's worse is that as the rift gets larger and each side makes more contracts everyone loses out. Not a single person will want to play ONLY the X1 titles and happen to watch ONLY the content they create, acquire or stream with other companies.

For now we really just miss out on a few exclusives for making our choice, an annoying but easily solved dilemma. Expanding the audience could mean television or movie exclusives and I am dreading that.

Ya know, this is the absolute FIRST time I've heard of these atrocities! I mean, does everyone know about this? This is, this is just downright evil! Burn them, burn them all I say!! Riot in the streets!! Complete anarchy of The Man!! Down with the new-fangled devil's instruments that dare to do more than one thing at a time and bring you more than just a box with which to play a circular disc on!! I've changed my ways, I've seen the light of the demi-god that is the Playstation 4!!

WE F****N GET IT. How bout you go troll your own PS4 forums if it's so great? Scram.

I could have sworn this was an Xbox or PS4 thread. Did I miss something?

And since you are obviously too simple to understand, let me explain... NO ONE is complaining about the features of the Xbox One - it's got some great features. People have a problem with the RESTRICTIONS. Not sure why you fanboys are so overprotective of your precious xbox one, but most of the world is not happy about it. Funny thing is, all it would take is for everyone to demand that they at least make some of these things OPTIONAL. But instead, you guys would rather fight every single person that try's to get Microsoft to compromise with us, instead of working together to get a better system.

Have it your way.

It was honestly supposed to be a joke. I have both consoles pre-ordered. Anyway, I just find it hilarious how the PlayStation community loves to terrorize the Xbox Community. Any sign of support of the Xbox One in the PS fanboy eye is immediately, dare I say a KNEE JERK REACTION...."You know I'm really looking forward to Titanfall, it's a shame it's not on PS either" and usually the downvotes appear lightning fast and I get this hilariously harsh response about how I'm absolutely messed up in the head for wanting to buy an Xbox One for Titanfall.

I just find it really funny that if you like or support the X1 in the littlest sense, you are automatically frowned upon. It's hilarious.

Just get the system that has the games you like on them. If you think Dead Rising 3, Titanfall, and other games fit your gaming needs, get the Xbox One. If you like the exclusives that Sony has and their games fit your gaming needs get the PS4. It's really that simple.

Titanfall is coming to PS4, it's a timed exclusive.

I love how people talk as if that is a confirmed fact. Yeah it is possible it will, especially the way the developer was talking, but we just have to wait and see. Even if it was a timed exclusive, PS4 would get the game a year later and by then it will start to be old and irrelevant.

That people are interested in what new? That's not a bad thing, assuming Titanfall releases later on PS4 it will almost definitely have lower sales. It won't be as relevant and will be full price since its a "new release". You don't go and buy Modern Warfare 2 or Halo 3 for full price now after its been out.
